NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Members of the Martin Luther King Jr. Commission are teaming up with the community to make sure students have what they need this school year.
They hosted a back-to-school supply giveaway at the Network of Believers Church on Harold Street Saturday morning.
Organizers said there are more youth-focused events planned in September.
“We’re also having a festival, a non-violence youth summit on September 19. In about three weeks, we’ll be kicking off at Southwest High School and we’ll have a festival at this same location later on that evening in North Little Rock promoting non-violence and to stop the violence throughout the community,” DuShun Scarbrough, Executive Director for the Arkansas Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission said.
Saturday’s event also had free haircuts, food and games. For more information about the MLK Commission and their upcoming events, visit ArKingDream.org .
